Prolly why they were buried in the stash Rick H. I dislike working w/resin.

 

[Mini Me]

Same Here...at least you don't have to carve the steering wheel or some other tiny part from a block of resin bigger than the finished model! Lol Rick H.

Two thirds done now. All main and minor components added. Just leaves the micro detailing.

I was wondering what the strange smell was in the man cave. Not smelt that since my University days :thumb2:

Hi all
Not updated anything for a while, so here are the latest from my bench. To me, they do not compare with the great work on show here, and you guys are probably getting as bored with seeing them as I am with painting them......but here are more pug uglies, this time with arrow shooting things.....






..and the obligatory calibration shot....

Cheers all, hope they are of some passing interest!

Regardless of the subject its all of interest to me if I can appreciate the time and effort someone's put in! I think they look great :thumb2: the chain mail looks fantastic.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate the support. Chain mail is really easy though...under paint in black, dry brush in steel, paint in darkest shadows, gloss and Matt varnish, highlight with steel (gets the shine back), then add highest highlights (sparsely) in silver. Simples!

Thanks Neil, they really are aren’t they LOL....

 

[Allen Dewire]

Tim, we can never get bored looking at these little fuglies. You do some incredible things and achieve outstanding results with these tiny figs. I still think the ghosts were just fantastic and the best yet!!!

I love the way you paint the facial expressions on the fuglies too. Your detailing is first rate Sir!!!

:tears-of-joy:simples for you maybe! I would end up with a multi coloured golf ball !!

Thanks Allen, I really appreciate the kind comments. Not my detailing though, it comes with the figures. I just paint it LOL.

It really is as easy as I say Mark. The end effect is all smoke and mirrors.....the secret is getting the dilution of the paint correct.....thicker for dry brush work and thinner for blends and detail. Just push some paint around and try it....

I really don't think I could do as good a job as you on something that small but I do keep looking at my display cabinet an thinking hmm maybe there!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Just try it Mark. I’m a technician, not an artist. Get the technique right and you’ll get the results you are after.....you might even enjoy it
